最近Netflix埃及艳后影集找黑人Adele James饰演埃及艳后造成不小争议
对此导演Tina Gharavi出来说话了
‘Cleopatra was Greek!’ Oh, Lawd! Why would that be a good thing to you,
Amir? You’re Egyptian.”
有个埃及人跟导演说 埃及艳后是个希腊人
对此导演表示 这样对你有什么好处 你是埃及人耶
“After 300 years, surely, we can safely say Cleopatra was Egyptian. She
was no more Greek or Macedonian than Rita Wilson or Jennifer Aniston. Both
are one generation from Greece. Why shouldn’t Cleopatra be a melanated
sister? And why do some people need Cleopatra to be white? Her proximity to
whiteness seems to give her value, and for some Egyptians it seems to really
matter.”
导演表示 为什么埃及艳后不能是黑皮肤的姊妹呢?
“What the historians can confirm is that it is more likely that Cleopatra
looked like Adele than Elizabeth Taylor ever did.”
导演表示 比起伊莉莎白泰勒 埃及艳后一定长得更像我们的黑人女主Adele James
She summed up, “So, was Cleopatra Black? We don’t know for sure, but we can
be certain she wasn’t white like Elizabeth Taylor. We need to have a
conversation with ourselves about our colorism, and the internalized white
supremacy that Hollywood has indoctrinated us with.”
导演表示 虽然不确定埃及艳后一定是黑人 但一定不像于伊莉莎白泰勒那么白
觉得有问题的一定都是被好莱坞灌输的白人至上主义害的
Lead actress James took to Twitter on April 13 to respond to backlash at her
casting, writing, “Cleopatra was a queen, not a slave. If you don’t like
the casting don’t watch the show. Or do & engage in (expert) opinion
different to yours. Either way, I’M GASSED and will continue to be!”
最后 这部的女主Adele James也在个人推特表示 不喜欢就不要看
“Queen Cleopatra” is narrated by Jada Pinkett Smith, who told Netflix’s
Tudum that the project was to “represent Black women.”
担任旁白的Jada Pinkett Smith表示 这部是为了有个黑人女性代表
(那找个真实的黑人女性名人不是比较好吗?)
